Welcome to this forum Sharon Jean.

You are off to a good start, but I must agree with all that Natrushka says. Get the book and read it - not only will it fill you in on exactly what you need to do, but it will inspire and motivate you to.

This site is pretty good for motivation as well. A low carb diet is a way of life, not a quick fix remedy. Diet comes from the Greek and Latin and actually means "way of life". Loose weight and stay slim by permanently changing your eating habits.

Every success.
